...1. Introduction "I am called the Virgin Queen. Unmarried, I have no master. Childless, I am mother to my people. I am the queen, I am myself." This quote from the movie “Elizabeth: The Golden Age“ describes the fascination about Elizabeth I of England in few sentences. A woman, who could prevail in a male-dominated society. A woman, who waived her own fortune for the sake of her subjects. A woman, who influences the national pride of the English even today. So it is not surprising that there is plenty of literature, opera and movies about Elizabeth I. The following term paper examines three movies, where Elizabeth I is the protagonist. “Elizabeth“, with Cate Blanchett in the leading role, is about the days of her youth. The 1998 movie shows the development of a young princess, who was crowned after the death of her half sister Maria. The first years of her reign are very turbulent, because the creation of a Protestant Church by her father Henry VIII and the return to Catholicism under Maria split the nation. The inexperienced Elizabeth has to determine which religion should be the official one in order to prevent a civil war. Meanwhile her consultants give her advice to keep the line of succession by marriage. But to whom shall she entrust her heart and kingdom? At the end of the movie all problems are solved and Elizabeth creates the icon of the “virgin queen“. Nine years later, the sequel of the movie from 1998, “Elizabeth: The Golden Age“ was released. She is in her 26th...

...Running head: MISSION, VISION, AND VALUES: DAIRY QUEEN Mission, Vision and Values: Dairy Queen University of Phoenix MMPBL/590 February 1, 2010 The Dairy Queen system's recipe for success has been simple for more than 60 years. It's been a combination of hard-working people who own and operate restaurants and great-tasting food and tempting treats served in our establishments. The founders of the Dairy Queen system were men and women who introduced a new kind of dessert treat and, in the process, developed the foundation of the franchising industry. The history of the Dairy Queen system is a story of a unique product that created an industry (Dairy Queen, 2007). The story of Dairy Queen began on August 4, 1938, with a ten cent product, in Kankakee, Illinois. A father and son in the mix plant business in Green River, Illinois, had been experimenting with a soft frozen dairy product for some time. They contacted Sherb Noble, a good friend and customer, who agreed to run the "all you can eat" trial sale at his walk-in ice cream store. Within two hours, he dished out more than 1,600 servings of the new dessert. Back then, food franchising was all but unheard of, but the new product's potential made it a natural for such a system. When the United States entered World War II in December 1941, there were less than 10 Dairy Queen stores. However shortly after the war, the system took off at a pace virtually unrivaled before or since. With only 100 stores in 1947, it grew...

...There only purpose in the colony is to mate with a virgin queen. They only live to mate with a queen and only one and a thousand get the chance to mate with the queen. Males from miles around can smell her scent and automatically volunteer to mate, which they perform in the air. After the drones mate with a queen they drop to the ground and die. Since the drone is a male they don't have a stinger like the worker bees have. Drones are the larger bees hanging around the hives. They live there during the spring and the summer months but regularly leave to find Drone Congregation Areas , in the hope of being part of a mating flight.

...Stephen Frears, utilises the director's imagined memories of the events succeeding Diana's death to portray the Queen, and her actions, in a warmer light. A compelling and challenging view of Diana is also presented in the film, furthering Frears' purpose of convincing the audience of the difficulty of the Queen's position and hence softening the public image of her. Diana is initially presented through a montage of grainy archival footage, where Diana almost seems to be courting and teasing the media with her image. While this archival media footage adds authenticity to Frears' account, it also demonstrates how insulting this behaviour would have been to the rigid policies of the monarchy. Thus as Diana is depicted as causing trouble for the monarchy, sympathy for the Queen's position upon her death is created. This compelling portrayal of Diana, through historical footage, allows Frears to validate his personal memories and in this way the symbiotic nature of history and memory is revealed. insights into Queen Elizabeth II's emotions during the aftermath of Diana's death can be gained through observing the interplay between the collective and personal memories of the event. Frears' imagined interpretation of the Queen's vulnerability challenges the public's collective memory of Diana's death. Frears' perspective is immediately depicted in the opening intertextual quote from Shakespeare's Henry IV: "uneasy lies the head that wears a crown". Sympathy is created as Frears suggests...

...minister. However, the Queen (Helen Mirren) is slightly wary of Blair and his pledge to modernise Britain, but he promises to respect the Royal Family. Three months later, Diana, Princess of Wales died in a car crash at the Alma Bridge tunnel in Paris. Blair's director of communications, Alastair Campbell (Mark Bazeley), prepares a speech in which Diana was described as "the people's princess". Blair gives his speech the next day and the phrase catches on. Within the next few days after Diana's death, millions of people across London display an outpouring of grief at Buckingham and Kensington Palaces. Meanwhile, the Royal Family are still at their summer estate in Balmoral Castle. Diana's death sparks division among members of the family, in which they observe that since Diana was divorced from her husband, Prince Charles (Alex Jennings) a year earlier, she was no longer a part of the family. Diana's funeral arrangements were thus best left as a private affair of her noble family, the Spencers. Charles argues that the mother of a future king cannot be dismissed so lightly, while the Queen authorises the use of an aircraft of the British Royal Flight to bring Diana's body back to Britain. In London, flowers pile up before the palace railings, which forces the changing of the Queen's guard to use another gate. British tabloids become inflammatory about the lack of a statement from the Royal Family. Charles leaves no doubt that he shares Blair's views about the need for a statement. As...

...Queen Elizabeth is a leader that possesses many great qualities. She had a vision that earned her people’s love through respect, understanding and being unprejudiced. As a leader, she accepted the opinions of her advisors but at the same time thinks rationally and decides on what is the right thing to do for her people and country. In the beginning, Queen Elizabeth and her ministers were discussing how Mary Stuart, a devoted Catholic, is the Queen of England in waiting. Her ministers advised her that all Catholics are traitors and their loyalty is to the Pope of Rome. It was right for Queen Elizabeth to say that she will not punish her people for their belief but only for their crimes. This showed that she understands that by allowing people to live freely, it creates joy and happiness among the people. This in return will allow her to earn the love from her people. She is able to show that she wants to maintain a good relation with her loyal Protestant supporters and her ministers; she made decisions for the good of her people and country even though some might not agree with her decisions. From this situation, it is clear that the she was able to adopt fairness and transparency. She was able to make practical decisions about issues, and treated everyone equally (Brimacombe 2000). During one of the greatest wars known in history – the English defeat of the Spanish Armada. Queen Elizabeth truly stands out as an organized, brave, honest yet motivating leader. Queen...
